Common questions
What scheduling options does Kognitos offer?
Cron-based scheduling (run at specific times or intervals), event-triggered scheduling (run when a file arrives, an email lands, or an API webhook fires), and manual on-demand execution. All options are configured in the platform UI without code.
Can I schedule a Kognitos process without developer help?
Yes. Scheduling is configured entirely by the process owner using a visual schedule builder or cron expression in the platform UI. No code changes, no IT tickets, and no developer involvement are required.
What happens if a scheduled process fails mid-run?
Kognitos captures the failure as an exception, routes it to the Department's Exceptions queue, and notifies the configured owner. The process never silently drops records. Every failure is logged with full context for the run.
Can I pause or reschedule a live process?
Yes. Navigate to the Published Process, edit the schedule, and save. Changes take effect on the next scheduled run. Previous runs and their outputs are preserved in History and are not affected by the schedule change.
